Ten years after PFAS contamination in Newburgh’s watershed was made public, its effects are still being felt. 🌊 Current student Stael Toussaint '27 and Lily Rubino, visiting faculty in science, mathematics, and computing, are using the power of public archives to support the community’s intergenerational fight for environmental justice. Their work earned a 2026 Barnabas McHenry Hudson River Valley Award from the Open Space Institute. Congratulations!
